center stage concerts can seat about 20,000. UFC might be able to get a couple more in there.

What was the main reason why New York never viewed MMA the same as boxing since both sports involve trying to knock out someone with a lot of the time involving blows to the head for MMA?

Listened to a Legislature today say that MMA is more VIOLENT than boxing, and that he will never allow it until the VIOLENCE is removed via Safeguards.
Not even sure what that means. |

He's probly calling for some protective paddings/helmets type of deal during fights and/or it to become probly to emphasize more on it being a point based system (removal of KO/SUB bonuses.)

According to that article, he's sinking a bill that basically guarantees an estimated $16m in revenue because the UFC will host 2 events in NYC during the next calendar year upon the bill passing. Seems like pretty bad planning during economic hardship.

yea but from what I hear, hes in the pockets of unions (teamsters i think, which means hes in the pockets of the mafia which also control much of boxing) so he and his associates wouldnt receive all that money coming in like they would if it were boxing.
basically he doesnt care if nyc gets the 16m.... since ufc is a legit company, the money would actually go to where it should rather than where he wants it to go. |

Boxing is pretty much the same as it was 30 years ago, pretty ridiculous.

They only pull the revenue they do for the BIG fights. Like Mayweather and Manny. And that is really more of a social situation than a sporting event, because its nearly impossible as a normal fan to get a ticket to the event. Its only the super rich who can get them and they go more just to say they did or show their face than because they like boxing.
Outside of events with those two guys, Ultimate Fight Nights sell more than any other boxing fight for the most part. |
